no i am sorry. what do i need to do after a sucessful conversion to make the virtual server the real server and teh phisicla one not the real one meaning to complete the project

about the "vm tools not installed", you simply go to the vm ware tools menu, and choose "install vm ware tools", and follow the steps.
